Are there any families in American politics?

Many countries in the world, especially some countries with a long history, attach great importance to family inheritance. Moreover, upper-class families, or nobles, pay more attention to family inheritance.

The United States is a young country with a short history and an immigrant country, so it is difficult to trace back to the source, so generally speaking, the concept of family inheritance is not strong. Moreover, it has been clearly stipulated in the Great Constitution of the United States that the United States does not grant any titles of nobility. Therefore, although there is an upper class in the United States and many people yearn for European aristocrats, no American can call himself an aristocrat. Naturally, the so-called family inheritance is not so important.

However, this is only the general situation of American society and culture. In American politics, it belongs to the people who should abide by the American Constitution most, but the family inheritance is quite common, and some people even call it American aristocrats, who attack each other from generation to generation, form their own dynasties, and hold the American political power.

The concept of dynasty here means that there are at least two members in a family, including direct blood relatives, such as father and son, mother and daughter, and indirect blood relatives, such as cousins, who have served in the US Senate and House of Representatives, the Federal Cabinet or the President of the White House. Although the son-in-law and daughter-in-law are family, they are not related by blood, so they don't count. For example, the famous film actor Schwarzenegger is the son-in-law of the Kennedy family. Although he was the governor of California twice, he was not in the Kennedy dynasty.

When it comes to American political families, the Kennedy family is second to none. In this family, between four generations, there was an American president, three American senators, four American congressmen and an American cabinet minister. It is said that the Kennedy family was able to establish the second Catholic Irish political dynasty in the United States because of the ambition, will, planning and wealth of the first generation of old fathers. He arranged for his eldest son John to run for president of the United States and beat his opponent with money. Later, he arranged for his eldest son John to appoint his second son Robert as the federal attorney general, and arranged for his youngest son Tate, who had just reached the age of running for the federal Senate, to take over the vacant seat of the federal senator when John was elected president. So overnight, all three Kennedy brothers entered the DPRK, forming the Kennedy dynasty. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. John was assassinated during his presidency, and Robert continued to run for the presidency and was murdered. Tate failed to run for president again and gave up. The last strongman of the Kennedy family, President Kennedy's younger brother Tate, served as a federal senator for decades and died in 2009. His nephew originally announced that he would continue to run for this seat, but later gave up, and the Kennedy dynasty was finally coming to an end.

The second largest family in American politics is the Roosevelt family. In this family, there have been two American presidents, one American vice president, two governors and four federal congressmen. Although the Roosevelt dynasty was not as prominent as the Kennedy family, its influence on American history, especially on American political countries, far exceeded that of the Kennedy family. Roosevelt, who served as two American presidents, is a family friend, separated by five generations. According to China, he is still a family. They are presidents separated for many years, but it seems that they have similar feelings because of blood relationship, so they work together to reform old habits and establish a modern American presidential system.

The third largest political family in the United States is the Rockefeller family. This name is familiar to everyone in China. In the19th century, the Rockefeller family focused on business operations and never set foot in politics. At most, they use money to secretly influence American politics. Gradually, the oil tycoon family felt that participating in politics was very important for their business operation and began to infiltrate American politics. George W. john rockefeller married the daughter of former US Senator aldridge, and their son was elected as the vice president of the United States. The Rockefeller family has had a vice president, three governors, two senators and two congressmen. It can also be said that the Rockefeller dynasty lasted for a long time in American politics.

Compared with the three families mentioned above, the name Harrison is not so familiar to China people. But the Harrison family has produced two American presidents, two governors, three senators and five representatives. In fact, in American politics, since before the American War of Independence, no family has surpassed the Harrison family in their persistent pursuit of political power. But at the same time, ironically, all Harrison family members are mediocre in intelligence and limited in ability, which is almost a household name in the United States and quite funny.

The fifth largest family in American politics is the Adams family. This family has produced two presidents, two governors, three federal senators and five federal representatives. In fact, people in China who know American history should be familiar with the name Adams. Adams was quite famous before the founding of the United States. He was one of the five people who drafted the American Declaration of Independence, and was known as "the giant of American independence". He was the vice president of Washington, and was later elected as the second president of the United States and the first president of the United States to enter the White House. The presidential palace in Washington is in Philadelphia, and Adams moved the capital of the United States to what is now Washington, D.C. The eldest son of the president is a very successful diplomat and the drafter of the famous Monroe Declaration, and was later elected as the sixth president of the United States. Interestingly, the father and son presidents only served once, but they were defeated in the re-election campaign. However, as the Adams family in American politics, their family's influence is still quite strong.

In American political history, the second father-son president, the modern Bush, can be regarded as the sixth in American political family. Unlike Adams and his son, there is only one President Clinton between the two presidents. It can almost be said that George W. Bush regained the White House in less than ten years after the failure of President George W. Bush, which was quite dramatic and was laughed at by some Americans as an "unexpected dynasty." The Bush family has produced two presidents, a vice president, two governors, a federal senator and a federal representative. Although President George W. Bush was almost infamous when he left office, American politicians estimated that the Bush family might continue its scale in American politics, surpassing any previous dynasty.

The seventh largest political family in the United States is the Flynn Yusen family, a name that few people have heard of in China. However, this family has produced four federal senators, two federal representatives and a federal cabinet minister. Different from other big families mentioned above, Fridryn Yusen never extended his dynasty to the east and west coasts of the United States, but always focused on the place where he lived-New Jersey. Since the first generation of Franklin Yusen took part in the American Revolutionary War and served as a senator in New Jersey, this family dynasty in New Jersey politics has lasted for six generations, which is unmatched by other big families in American politics. Today, Rodney, the sixth generation descendant of Fredelin Yusen's family, is still a federal representative. He and his father Pete continued to serve as the 19 th federal representative of New Jersey. The US House of Representatives is re-elected every two years, which means that Franklin Yusen has been passed down from generation to generation for 38 years today.

Also from local politicians, the blakely branch of Kentucky formed another dynasty in American politics. This family has had a vice president, two federal senators, six federal representatives and a federal cabinet minister. The most famous member of the blakely family is John. /kloc-In the mid-9th century, at the age of 36, he became the youngest vice president in American history. Later, he participated in the presidential election on behalf of the southern United States and lost to President Lincoln who won the civil war and kept the United States unified. The young vice president's grandfather is the fifth attorney general of the United States, and his son is a federal congressman and diplomat. Interestingly, his great-grandson gave up politics and became a famous American actor.

Lacking the gorgeous colors of the Roosevelt family, the political sensitivity of the Kennedy family and the great wealth of the Rockefeller family, the Taft family, born in Cincinnati, established a dynasty that lasted for four generations in American politics and became an ordinary, stable and dedicated leader model. The Taft family had a president, a federal Supreme Court judge, a governor, three federal senators, two federal representatives and three federal cabinet ministers. William, who was elected president of the United States, also served as a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, which is unique in American history.

The last of the top ten families in American politics is the Bayard family. This family has had a governor, six federal senators, a federal representative and a federal cabinet minister. Born in Delaware, Bayar family represented Delaval in the Federal Senate for more than 100 years from 1804 to 1929, and controlled the political affairs of this small state.

It is not difficult to find the phenomenon of father and son, uncle and nephew, brothers hand in hand. By observing the current US government, the White House Cabinet, the Federal Senate and House of Representatives, and the governors of various states. Maybe when, which family will start a new dynasty. Politics has been a stage since ancient times, and politicians all appear in black powder and perform various dramas. If there is comedy in politics, it will be good for the people. If there is a tragedy in politics, only the public will suffer. Even the United States, which calls itself a democratic system, can hardly escape this law, which makes people sigh.
